My House

     I made a house in SL ages ago, and its still standing.  I am never there anymore, as I had a bit of a falling out, it seems, with the landlord (its sad what accusations of Alt-ness can do to a friendship. for the record, in case anyone knows him, I am not my cousin Jake.). But the houe still remains, though the neighboors have banned me. Ah well. in any case I decided to take pictures of my house and share here, in case somthing happens and it goes away for good.  none of these pictures is edited, so you can get a sense of the house. 

    
This is my house from the exterior. It is in a land called "Free Tibet" so I drew inspiration from a picture of a Tibetan town. The architecture seemed very boxy to me.  Sl did not, and still does not have a lot of Tibetan shops, so my interior decor is Japanese, mostly because I like the aesthetic. 

     This is me in the interior, you can see the Japanese influence, though the prayer flags I made are Tibetan in origin.  This next picture is looking in from the patio area, my bed is behind the screen.
     The dress is by Gizza, but its old, and its a system skirt which destroys my ass even more than mesh does. I do like the prim peplum, but the outfit feels dated (though its still lovely). Of course I say this even as Mesh frustrates me-because nothing is standard, even in the era of standard sizes. 

 

     A closer view  of the same shot, with my decollatage covering in lovely lace. Gizza's stuff is top notch. The earrings are by Chop Zuey called Octopussy, a name I cannot say with out laughing. Finally, the heels. These are Cathy (I think- I get the names mixed up), by Redgrave. They are color change so the ugly color combinations might be my experimentation.  They are still amazing shoes.

 

Details - Dress: Gizza; Heels: Redgrave; Jewelry: Chop Zuey; Hair: Dura; Skin: L'O.

Back Again

      Sorry for being gone, but RL demanded a return to Japan for a couple of weeks as I needed to wind things up there.  I will miss the craziness of Tokyo and the serenity of Kyoto, but those cities will be safer without having to worry about a rampagin Glamzilla!  I popped back into SL and checked out the popular spots and discovered Bladerunner City in the Off World Colonies.  It is a wonderful build and I want to go back and explore more, the place reawakened my inner sci-fi geek (depsite the efforts of JJ Abrams to kill her off with the new Star Trek - a Wrath of Khan remake? Seriously?).  So there will be more from the off world colonies. 

     I got this outfit at GIzza, and if you are not aquainted with Gizza, you should be. Brilliant stuff, and edgy without being overly out there. My new fascination is with bright colors, in bright patterns, though I have not found a lot of them that really work for me. This out fit did, and demanded some bright yellow pumps. I have been too conservative in my shoe color choices-its a habit I am going to try very hard to break. 
  I really liked the brightness of this outfit, its very very summery and feels like June.  Its also the first time in SL I have bothered with a bag. IRL I am lost without a purse (usually a large coach bag that contains my whole life) but in SL I have been free of the need.  Still it did sort of make me feel more like a woman, as dragging our lives around with us was a hallmark of feminininity.  Still it is nice to be prepared for any emergency-and yes, i even have a swiss army knife in my purse.

     Ok, the earring as are no as clear in this as I wanted them to be, but I got really distracted by the picture in the background.  My newfouund jewelry fetish continues with Chop Zuey being my dealer of choice.  For a woman, however, I can see membership in Chop Zuey being a mandatory expense, as the group gifts alone will give you a nice jewelry warddrobe.  It is one of my two group memberships I actually paid for, the other being Franks Elite.  I would consider these groups mandatory, along with the G-Spot of course.

        I seriously need to change the left-right-left rythm of the photographs in these blogs.  I won't rush into it, but it does seem to be a pattern with me, and this year is about breaking patterns.  Well these are the first of my summer heels. Classic pumps ny N-Core, a pricey investment, to be sure, but I like them. I considered a fat pack of Maitryea pumps, but I am not sure of the return value, as I get older and older in SL, I lean towards open toes, and 10k for a 24 shoes seemed a huge investment, especially since that 10k would almost buy every pair of shoes Redgrave makes, and Redgrave shoes are color change, which is a major plus.


Heels: N-Core. Outfit: Gizza. Jewelry: Chop Zuey. Hair: Dura. Skin: L'0.

Earrings and Asscracks

     So yesterday (meaning Friday) I hung out with my friend Danity, and we did the girl thing: shopped and tried on lots of clothes.  Despite lots of cute outfit combinations, it was not the time or place to mine for posts.  After all a girl has to have time to be a girl, and sometimes Girl Time needs to be unscripted.  This is not to say there was no payoff for you, my loyal (or casual) reader-just suggesting my whole life is not about a blog.  Spare me your remarks about five years between posts meaning none of my life is about a blog.
      Danity is an SL model, and you can most often find her working for Mianmai or Chop Zuey.  In my efforts to track her down yesterday, I wandered in to the Mianmai spring line.  Now I have had a recent revelation to be a Maitreya fangirl. But all that got compromised with this new spring line.  I gave in and spent. And spent. And spent.  This top, in the amazing sea green was among my picks, being flirty and casual, as seen here with Larry Jeans shorts and the new Helena heels from Redgrave (color change even!). The top is mesh, so it sort of masks my body, but the peplum effect emphasizes the waist, which I like-alot.

     Much of our outing was spent giving me a tour of Chop Zuey.  Now I confess that my interest in SL jewelry has never been intese, largely because I don't wear a lot of jewelry IRL and well, frankly a lot of SL jewelry has sucked in either design or execution. Chop Zuey is fantastic and has made me rethink my opinion of SL jewelry.  I got these fantastic earrings from  CZ, and they are amazing. They are called Octopussy,and the opalescent effect is magic.  Well worth the cost, and I even dragged out this Catwa updo to show the pretty things off. Jewelry is decidedly on the map.

     And of course the heels: Helena by Redgrave.  I love redgrave designs, I always have-see my earlier posts from ages ago.  I like thier design philosophy of making every shoe color change, and having each part changeable. They are very versatile shoes.  The only downside is I am not sold on the design of some of thier sandals, they are sort of boring and conventional, especially when compared to what other shoe desingers are putting out.  Still the Helenas were a must have. They are daring, unconventional and beautiful. Very much a go to shoe for summer.  Easily making the transition from casual to formal-these are a must have heel.

Finally a confession.  I am in love with my ass crack-it's a naughty tease of a thing, but the subtle curves of my ass folding into a cleft between my round butt cheeks catches the eye and forces me to look.   What is the relevance of this you ask?  Well it involves mesh jeans, which just never quite feel the same.  These Larry Jeans shorts are literally painted on and the curves are emphasized, and shown off.  I like it.  I have yet to find mesh jeans that replicate this effect.  I have seen some cute ones, but mesh designers be advised-take advantage of the asscrack!

RL is Distracting

Real Life is a time-consuming process, and sadly distracts from the real business of fashion. Yet somehow I must pay for everything, and that involves work.  Work involved a trip to Chicago, and despite jetlag and meeting after meeting telling the same thing over and over, I did get some RL shopping in. Shoes, yes. But three dresses and a suit to round out my RL annual update.  I am hoping to get up to Santa Barbara over the next week, and hit up a store specializing in ethnic looking silk clothes (not sure exactly where they are from, but sort of loose and flowy casual stuff).  So keep looking for intermittent posts in the next few weeks, as I do some RL adjusting.

  So today is about FABOO Bikinis, which are fantastic. Griz does an amazing job with these, and the detail is wonderful.  Her colors are vibrant the results are stunning. 
     This picture shows my favorite pose on my current A/0 (Natural Expressions). I just love the dynamics of the poses and the movement.  The downside is the animation troublesomely distorts the right shoulder, causing awkward glitches in clothing, especially mesh clothing.   I am looking for a new A/O, or more realistically a bunch of animations to finally put in the built-in FS A/O. I resist shopping for fundamentals like animations as much as possible, but its time. Any recommendations as to the best stores for animations?

  
     I am always torn in what shoes to wear with a bikini. On the one hand practicality virtually mandates flip-flops, with sneakers being a close second.  IRL heels on a beach are next to impossible (but the Japanese Girls manage to do it-i don't know how).  This being second life, my major footwear considerations eliminate practicality, all shoes are comfortable and as you can see, water proof.  Yes there are adorable flats and sneakers in SL. Mostly I wear heels in SL because my feet never hurt and I wear flats and sneakers all the time (in addition to my heavy duty steel toe boots - GO ME!).  My new obsession is Jewelry and Ballgowns.  Not promising anything, but I have some ideas working in the back of my brain.  More soon.

Friday night with the beaches

Ok. Prepare yourself: I am not wearing shoes in some of these pictures. Consider yourself warned!!!!!

Friday night started at Bahamas where Griz's husband Ras is the DJ. And then migrated to G spot where (he is so my bitch) Sam Dallin was DJ.  We had kind of a short night at G-spot where Griz, Dani and I all wore real height shapes. I actually liked it, but need my clothes resized. I would do real height again.  Still its good to be the zilla half of Glamzilla!  Dani, my supermodel friend is he Glam half.

I warned you I was not wearing shoes! That is Dani on the left being the Glam half. The beefckake on the right is Ras, wearing Griz's Faboo handiwork.

 

 

Of course this is Dani up closer and sexy in her own Faboo bikini.  For those who care, in the above picture my hair is Dura, my skin is Lost Fae, by L'O, my shorts are Larry Jeans, my top is maitreya and my feet are SLink.      Below Dani is Selena, also in Faboo, and finally, Ras and Griz being cool      

 

Pirates and Freinds.

   Yarrr! It was a weekend party, with pirate night starting out at the G-Spot on Thursday, which these are the photos from.  Firday was also a party, but thats another entry in the life of Jenn.

    This was my whole pirate image, the entire ensemble came from Blak Opal Designs. Except for the monocle which came from a long since gone store. I will edit this later and add the name.  Skin is my now standard Lost Fae by L'O. Hair is by Dura.
     

     A close up shot of me showing off the hat, the monocle and the chest ruffle.  I really love the color. I am starting to figure out what does and does not work for this skintone. I may stay a pale girl for another year after this. Or maybe not.

 

Broken and I danced for hours, the funny part is not that he danced on wooden legs, the funny part hs that he does not recall dancing with me.  He is so on my shit list.

Rustie had my favorite costume of Thursday night.

Goth me, sort of, 2.

    Looking at my blog I see that way back in may 2008, I published an entry that showed be in a slinky gothic pantsuit.  I decided to revisit that theme on the same day, with a more up to date avatar.  It only dawned on me afterwards that I have a model skin with a fatpack of exotic make-ups I could have worn.  But I reall do love and identify with Danity's Skin, I just wish I had a million make-up layers (and god wouldn't lipstick tatoos be amazing too?) to make it exotic.  Of cours Danity herself would say it was never intended as a model skin -she uses the sam Glam Affair skin I have for her modelling.  I am selfish though, and think only of what I want.

    The pictures were again taken at G-spot, in the castle skybox and in the basement. Enjoy!  Probably another update later before I am silent for a few days of real life.

     The picture on the right shows the back half of the basement with yours truly lying languidly on the beanbag. The porn studio can be seen in the background.  The couch may be the only non-sexed up object in G-spot. Not sure why. If you know, leave a comment.

 A good close up of my face. All my SL heels now have red soles. A nod to my fetish for Louboutains IRL.  I have about four pairs of the obscenely expensive shoes. I gave up collecting them when I discovered custom designed shoes over the internet.  Now most of my new RL shoes come from Italian Heels, or Shoes of Prey. Most..since its hard for me to pass any shoe store without buying a pair. I restrain myself usually.

And to the right, the heels. Omega's by N-core, which is becoming my default brand after all these years.They would be perfect if they just would make color changes.  Sooner or later, like Moody's they will price themselves out of competition, as the quality of other makers goes up. So now, the practicalities: Outfit: Mianmai Black; Heels: N-core; Hair: Catwa; Skin Lost Fae (L'O).

The G Spot

      So some of you know me, and some of you have perved my profile, and other have asked nicely...but all of you are aware i have been around SL for some time.  In that time I have been part of many communities: La Boom, Harrys, Sumo's, Spunky Monkey, and many more.  Two of my favorite communites on SL were the Elbow Room and the Hard Alley Reform School.  My latest favorite place is sort of a combination of those two places.

     Grizel has taken the idea of a sex club and melded it with a beach resort, and in the process seems to have created a community of regulars that is both diverse and perverse.  With regular parties, liberal pole dance polices, a dirtyu basement, sky boxes and more places to have sex than should be legally allowed, there is always something happening at the G-Spot. 

   Oddly though, there is not a lot of public sex on the public sex beds.  For some reason that aspect of a sex club just does not seem to have taken.  A shame, because watching others have sex is fun.  There is a porn theatre to satisfy the voyuer in all of us-but its sadly not the same.  People just seem shy.

    This is a small criticism of a place with so much to offer-the g-spot should be your first, and often last, stop for all fun in SL.  Its certainly a very good community to explore from. And if you are a noob, just ask for help. Makeovers for any budget can happen almost on request.

     There are a few rules at the G-spot which can be largely summed up as be nice, be respectful and ask before you hop on a poseball withsomeone else.  The people at the G spot look good, so should you.  That means be human, and if your pants are on your cock is off, boys.  Speaking of fashion, this outfit was inspired by some of the girls at g spot. A black dress and the ubiquitous sky high platform pumps-a classic look with a sexy twist.

Dress: Maitreya; Heels:LogiQue; Hair:Dura, Skin: Lost Fae Designs (Soon L'O).

 

 

 

\

     So its me being back again. Five years is a long time, but the truth is I lost the password to this blog account, and I forgo the email I used. Silly me in a 5 year blonde moment-good thing my avi hair is black. I have been in the process of moving back from Japan, where I have been working since 2011, and after some encouragement by PC Coach (well he did put the idea in my head) i looked for my old diary.  I found it, and the password and e-mail i used and voila! I am blogging again. Though you can expect this to be infrequnent for the mean time.
     Big news, and sad, is my friend Joe Briggs died, unexpectedly.  There is little more I can, or want to say, except "via con dios, mi hermano."  Joe was a wonderful man and made my SL a better place.  He left a lot of freinds behind in SL and they are becoming my freinds.  RL being RL was complicated and I spent a good amount of time wrapped up in someone. We grew apart, as sometimes happens, and this brought me back to SL, with many freinds mad and gone because I up and alientated them in the interests of a bad, but torrid, affair.  

Of course in five years the shoes are better, the clothes are better and I am in love with mesh, mostly.  System jeans still hug my ass better, and sadly, given the view we have in SL, I am infatuated with my own ass cleavage. :)  For those of you who need the details (and we ALL need the details):  The jeans are Redgrave, the top is fascinate by DeVicious, and the heels are Shark by N-core.  The hair is lamar by Catwa and the lovely skin is Dana, milky-red by Lost Fae, which is being reinvented as I understand it.  Can't wait to see what Dani does. Maybe I can try and convince her to keep up with my lipstick fetish. Enough for now. Greetings if you read this, and kisses if you missed me. 

 

 

 

Too long away

Well I am back now, due to some small demand that I keep my blog. Of course it gets read, but noone seems to want to leave comments. I like dialogue, even infrequently virtual dialogue. So comment so I have motivation to keep this up.

I have so many things to say over the past months I do not know where to begin. So I will put in a plug for 1001 shoes, my always favorite blog. i will have to get to work on that.

Goth me, sort of.

Still no nails

Still no nails, but I am recently infatuated with Adam n Eve shoes, namely these metallic ones. They go very well with my green jeans by Canimal, and my LuLu green sweater. This is me as a blond, which I am in RL. The skin is by Gala, and the Hair, Maitreya.

Last week I left off some of my gothic stuff. I am always mixed about showing it. The look is so cute on my friends, but never sits well on me. I am behind in my blogging, however and I cannot get on SL so more will soon follow.

Retro

I love retro things. Not complete retro, as there is definitely some stuff I can live without, but in general, I like referencing, or simply stealing, fashion ideas from the bygone era. Of late I am particularly into the '60s. It might be all the Star Trek I have seen lately, but I am really into ultra lounge fashion. Ava Choo indulged me by putting out their Pucci shoes, which are bright and loud, as you can see. And yes, I am looking for toenails and finger nails in SL, so leave comments with suggestions.

These shoes led me directly to Carnaby Street, in SL and the Mondrian dress. Adding in a flirty bob (more '20s than '60s) gets you this look:

5 days since tax day

Five days since Tax Day and I have been travelling again. This time to Nevada to be an emergency bridesmaid. I suppose that having a career was important enough to me that I put it before other things in my life, but really, when friends get married I am a little sad. Why have I not taken this plunge? Am I too rational to do it? Or am I too demanding of the men I meet. I have an RL attraction to women as well, and I have thought that my bisexuality might have something to do with never committing to a man, but then I have never committed to a woman either. It is more that the sort of impulsive moment of romance that precipitates a marriage has thus far eluded me IRL. Of course I still hope....

I did get on SL a couple of times this week to see my girls and update my wardrobe. It has been a sort of impulsive and extreme period, with a good solid commitment to pink:

The hair was a freebie given to me by Viv, and the dress is from AW Design. They also made the shoes. This is more pink on my body than has ever been there before, and it is sort of an interesting feeling. Its shocking to me, but pink really does make me feel girly.

Here are the heels, aren't they awesome?

Tax Day

Two weeks into april and I have nothing to say for myself. I spent ten days in South America for work, whihc was a good thing and then came back to tax time, and dealing with the accountant. I finally finished the damed things and I am taking some time off to go shopping tomorrow as I am desperate for underwear and, of course, high heels.

I have not even logged in to SL, so I do not have any photos to show this post. I had promised something about Russian fashion, and I will get there. But for all who care I am alive, and missing the SL experience. So show up in world and IM me. Or take me shoe shopping.

Well another period of silence elapses, as I spend a weekend with my cousin in Palm Springs doing mostly nothing but some RL shopping. I am a huge fan of Russian designers, and sometime I simply must do a blog about why.

I am taking the cheating way out today and doing an outfit post. I really should do these in flickr, as I enjoy photo diaries there. But this is me today (and last night!):

Hair: Maitreya; Dress: Maitreya; Heels: Maitreya

I love these heels. Of course in this picture, you cannot see the red soles (a shame, they are cute):

I am remiss!

Almost a week since my last entry and I am feeling guilty. Not that I have many faithful readers, but I do worry I have alienated a few of them. Of course it would be nice to have lots of comments screaming at me to post. Or just comments in general to let me know you readmy blog.

Of course there are so many things to write about, that I never know where to begin: men, my girls, russian fashion, SL fashion Maitreya Shoes, politcs religion, sex and ethics.... Well, you get the Picture.

I sometimes have the inclination to debate the finer points of an intellectual premise, and SL's Socrates Cafe is a wonderful outlet for this. A group of avatars sitting around a fire, debating topics is a far cry from typical SL entertainment, but it does show that SL is a forum for all manner of activities. What is wonderful is I can be a hot philosohy girl one day, and then be a hot poledancing girl the other. And what I really love in SL is that I can define myself as hot two days in a row. I don't think this has ever happened to me in RL, ever!

SometimesI have my utterly girly moments, and nothing ever feels more girly to me than pink. God I know it is a stereotype that has been socialized into me from birth, but dammit, pink makes me feel pretty. I am a horrible feminist sometimes, kicking through glass celings with pink heels. I did not do the cleanest photoshop job on this picture by here are the pink star sandals.

A word about Veto Keen. Veto is a regular at some of SL's best sims-of- ill-repute. Veto is one of the most unique men I have met in SL, with a wonderful sense of humor, and the capacity to be truly nice. When I first met him, his typical incarnation was as a crusty, overweight, cigar smoking dirty old janitor, mopping floors in a sex club. This was brilliant! His avi was so wrong and unsexy that I was immediatly intrigued. Well as the months have passed I have seen many other incarnations of Veto, and while he is certainly part of my circle of friends, I still find him sexy.

The other night we were at Viv's new place and we were icking on Veto's fashion sense. Here is a shot of the business end of his boxers. Unfortunately the screenshot does not do justice to his digital butt. I am going to have to start running SL in high rez again.

Yummy. Evern more Yummy is knowing what a slight tug can do.

Lest I be accused of doing this only for the buttshot, here is Veto, looking dark and brooding, with a touch of mystery, and an ugly gangsta hat:

Well this is all for now, as I am back to Photoshop the rest of my pics for another post.

Friday's Child

Friday night was a good one for me, as I got to see all my girls. I even got back on the stage and danced in Hard Alley. I have never been good at the dancing. I cannot type fast enough to really work the stage like Sarah does, and I get too distracted by IMs. Still,it was quite fun. Ultimately I have had some difficulty with SL and stability (what else is new), so I crashed before I could delve deeper. Still it was a fun evening. Me and my girls on a rampage, turning Viv into a latex fetishist.

The purple platforms. I am not a huge platforms fan, but these go so well with the latex fetishist in me:

Here are the danger girls on our way out. Left to right: Tars, Sarah, Me (yes, green hair!) and Vivian. Don't we look good in purple latex? This is how we hit the Alley before my stage return (which did get me money!) and our demonstration in support of Megz's cleaning skills, hehehehe.

After our purple Latex adventures we went back to the pond and changed into something more normal (and my favorite pink Sylfies) and danced for a while, drawing the attention of at least one hot Aussie guy.

This is Viv and I, before dancing. Just so you get the full on latex impression:

And this is me as I ended the night (note the killer dance moves, and of course, another change of hair!):
